T 0 (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that G'noiien E. swwm, a citizen of the United States,residing at Southgate cweu Hastings-upon-Hudson; in the county 0 l icstchesterand Slate of New Yorl-n h as invented certain new improvementsin Flashing Receptacles and Braces of tion.

This invention relates to a flashing receptacle which will be convenientto handle and install and will be adapted to be shipped without injury.

One of the objects of the invention is to produce flashing receptacle'troin thin sheet of suitable material. such as metal in such a way thatthe same may be conveniently installed and will retain its shape. 7

Another object oi. the invention is to produce flashing receptacle thatis sobraced any danger of the same being; distorted" or bent out ofshape during; 1121. dlin shiroing and installation oi? the same.

Another object is to so install a dashing; receptacle of this characterin.

a concrete wall that danger oil. concrete other material enterii theinside of the receptacle and obstructn V the same is eliminated.

Another object is to install a ceptaclc and so brace the that danger oior becoming .,..is )laced will be overcome. and at the same time theconcrete in which it installed will be strengthened and made safer.Other objects and advantages ot the invention will be obvious as thedescription. proceeds.

The invention will be understood from the following description taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings illustrating an embodiment oithe invention in which the same reference characters are used todesignate the same parts in. the different views.

In the drawings,

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device.

Fig. 2.is an end view showing the device in course of installation.

Fig. 3 is an end view partly broken away showing the device after beinginstalled in a concrete wall.

Reference character receptacle that may be made of a thin sheet ofmaterial such as iron which sheet is so bent as to have twosubstantially parallel and useful I which the following is a specificsthe walls 1 and 2when that its outer edge closes the mouth 0t lashingrecan be placed in contact with the fie R refers to a flashing a closedend 3, a depending an upturned lip 5. The end 3 walls'l and 2, flange iand rons, essrenon '20 T m and the flanged will preferably be in substantially parallel planes and so disposed with respect to the walls 1and 2 as to form obtuse an glee. providing; a sloping groove or slotbetween the device is in-, end 3 and flange 4: in a sub.

stantially ve'rt alposition as is clearly in.- dicated in Fig. 3. I p

A long brace 6 made otwood or other convenient material islongitudinally disposed stalled with the win the moutlro'f the flashingreceptacle R and is retained therein andserves as a filler until afterthe receptacle is installed; by slitting the flange 4: at intervalsalong the -'lines land 8 and bending the intervening portion 9 upwardlyinto contact with the taco of the brace 6i The brace 6 is so shaped thereceptacle and its sides converge toward each other, thus making a bracewhich can be easily removed when desired.

i The flashing receptacle R is also provided with plurality oftransverse external braces 10 oniy o'ne of which is shown in Fig. 1dis-s posed des ,7 )ble points when the device is installed Thisbrace 10is so shaped'that wion'll thereot can be placcdin con- .ththeiwall 1 anda portion 12 thereof 95c 45 while extensions thereof are so disposedasto facilitate installation of thereceptacle and-retain the brace 10firmly anchored the concrete, and also reinforces the concrete. -Forthis purpose an extension 13 with a bent end 1% may be provided as welland extending upwardly from the floor or roof deck 1). After the wall Bis erected the flashing receptacle R is placed at the This is for thepurpose ot I proper position with its flange d and lip 5 in contact withthe wall B, the brace 6 being retained in the mouth of thereceptacle asindicated. The desired number of external braces 10 are then applied tothe receptacle R and fastened to the wall B by nails 19 and 20 whichpass through holes 19 and 20 in the brace 10 as indicated. The concreteis then poured around the re ceptacle leaving the space between thewalls 1 and 2 entirely free as the brace or filler prevents any concretefrom entering the rereptacle even if the flange l and lip 5 do notclosely fit the wall B due to any roughness or irregularities. After theconcrete hardens the wall or form B is removed, the nails 19 and 20cutofl' or bent down, the lips 9 turned downwardly and the brace 6 isremoved, thus leaving a clean opening for the root flashing. The roofflashing 21 may then be installed with. a suitable cant strip it desiredin the space 22, and suitable cement in material 23 may be applied asindicated.

it is obvious that the receptacle It may be safely shipped and handledwith the brace 6 therein as this brace will prevent bending and keep themouth of the receptacle from being closed. The braces will hold thereceptacle R in place while the concrete is being poured and will alsoreinforce the concrete after the installation of the receptacleHeretofore trouble has arisen by the breaking or chipping oil ofconcrete above flashing receptacles, but the upper wall 2 with itsupturned lip 5 and the portion of the brace 10 serve to retain theoverhanging concrete much better than has heretofore been done.

I claim:

1. In a flashing form, a sheet of material having a portion bent so asto form a downwardly sloping receptacle and means for retaining alongitudinal brace in said receptacle.

2. In a flashing form, a sheet of material having a portion bent so asto form a receptacle having substantially parallel sides and means forretaining a brace in said receptacle. i

3. In a flashing form in combination, a sheet of material bent at oneplace intermediate its edges at an acute angle and at another place atan obtuse angle so as to form a receptacle and a wedge-shapedlongitudinal brace in said receptacle, and means integral with saidsheet to retain said brace temporarily in place.

l. in a flashing form, a sheet of material bent at one placeintermediate its edges at an acute angle and at another place at anobtuse angle so as to form a receptacle having a depending flange with aportion of said flange disposed to retain a brace in said receptacle.

In a flashing "form, a sheet of material bent at one place intermediateits edges at an acute angle and at another place at an obtuse angle soas to term a downwardly sloping elongated receptacle having a flangethat is slit and a portion thereof bent to retain a longitudinal bracein said receptacle.

6. In a flashing receptacle, in combination,

a flashing form, a longitudinal brace to prevent said form fromcollapsing and a transverse brace to prevent said form from sagging.

7. In a flashing receptacle, in combination, a flashing form, alongitudinal brace to prevent said form t'roin collapsing and a transverse brace to prevent said form from sagging, and means to retain saidlongitudinal brace in place while said form is being installed.

S. In a flashing receptacle, in combination, a flashing form, alongitudinal brace to prevent said form from collapsing and a transversebrace to prevent saidform from sagging, and means to retain said bracein place while said form is being installed.

9. in a flashing receptacle, in combination, a flashing form, alongitudinal brace to prevent said form -from collapsing and a transverse brace to prevent said form from sagging, and means to retain saidbraces in place while said form is being installed, said longitudinalbrace substantially closing one side of said form and being adapted tobe removed after said form has been installed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
